I've made it a point for most of my independent adult life to regularly assess everything I'm paying for on a regular basis and make sure I still want it. I don't care if it's $2 a month either it's providing value I'm happy with or it's gone.
That's why I cancelled Netflix back in summer of 2020, because I wasn't using it. A few years prior it was probably my best dollar-for-dollar entertainment source, but it had turned in to I never watch it. I never had all of them at once and I've ended up ditching almost all of them at this point. I have a Plex with things I bought and ripped that either is harder to find or I watch recurring. I have Crunchyroll because I got it cheap for a year, although I think I found out it's Sony now unfortunately. I get a zillion channels I never watch for free off an antenna, and I can DVR that to my Plex if I want. Anything else I want I sub to here and there on a seasonal basis.
Considering dropping Xbox Game Pass when my $1 sub is up later this year. Same reasons, new stuff is boring cookie-cutter or woked up. I've certainly gotten my money's worth from it as I've played a lot off of it, but if it gets to be $15 a month I have to think a lot more about it. I could likely buy everything I wanted to play on it over the course of a year for less than $180.
Oh, I canceled Netflix years ago because of this shit. I gave my nephew a year of Hulu for his birthday, or would have canceled that shit permanently last year. It's over with as of the 13th. Prime was never something I used other than from a free promotion at Christmas time for shipping because I don't waste money on stupid shit.
You could argue a gift is stupid shit when it supports this crap, but my nephew is a stupid shit. So, you would be correct, I supported a stupid shit.

The mirage of choice: I can buy inet service at 200Mbps for $80 a month or 10Mbps at $60 a month.

No shit. Have you just figured this out?
